My wife and I will be spending 10 nights at Sapphire Beach Resort in early May. We plan to book a snorkeling trip while there. I couldn't find a cruise ship schedule to find out how many ships will be in port on a given day so we can avoid the extra crowds.. Does anyone know which day of the week would be best to avoid the extra visitors?
Thanks,

master schedule on www.cruisett.com/ports.php ---------- I can understand worrying about sheeple while shopping but isn't a snorkeling trip on a private vessel designed to avoid crowds -- [unless you were planning to go to Coki or Trunk]
Thanks for the link.
I'm just trying to avoid being stuck on an overcrowded boat when we have the flexibility to adjust dates and the cruise people don't.
Many of the snorkeling /sailing or power trips are on vessels that can only carry 6 passengers.
Look at this week in STT or the paper. Choose days to go down town when there is only one or two ships in. Consider taking the safari from Tutu (or catch it from Sapphire if you can tell which one goes to town and which one goes to TuTu).
Consider going to Havensight instead of town where there is good parking. If you go on Friday there is the 3/4 cheese burger at ship wreck for $8.
If you go to town when there are no ships in then some of the stores may not be open.

Saturday is usually one of the lightest days.
The cruise ship schedule is right here on this website, but I don't think they've updated it yet for May.
